Les filles de mon pays
Enrico Macias
The Girls from My Country
Ah, how pretty the girls from my country are
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
Yes, how pretty the girls from my country are
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
In their eyes, the sun shines
On summer evenings
The sea plays with the sky
And makes them dream
As soon as they turn sixteen
The slightest worry
The slightest happiness
Makes their hearts beat
Ah, how pretty the girls from my country are
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
Yes, how pretty the girls from my country are
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
When a boy courts them
He already knows
That he won't get any of their love
The first time
He must commit
He must deserve
The hand he holds
Already in his hand
Because they are the girls, the girls from my country
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
The honor of the family, the girls from my country
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
He who knows how to be loved
Will be happy
They have nothing left to refuse
To their lovers
But for that
You must see dad
You must see mom
A ring on the finger
Ah, how pretty the girls from my country are
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
Yes, how pretty the girls from my country are
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
Ah, how pretty the girls from my country are
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
Yes, how pretty the girls from my country are
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
